Tiic Oregon Agricultural Collego is thoroughly a practical institution. It aiuia to give its students a practi cal education an education fornso. It does not neglect the aesthetical uor tho mental sciences, but every thing that is tanght is intended to havo a direct bearing on tho actual condition of life. Tho merits of the institution are not yet Jolly known throughout tho state. That this is so is manifested in tho surprise shown by visitors "at the scope, equipment aud thoroughness of tho school. The various departments aro presided over by more than twenty professors, all thorongh masters of the different branches, and efficient educators. Tho buildings and apparatus aro all of modern stylo and first-class in overy particular. Corvallis Gazette. "A pratical education for ose!" in farming, for tho mechanics, for horticulture, for architecture, for teachers of our pnblic schools? Xot a bit of it. Tho Gazette fails to jKMnt out n singlo instance in the line of usefulness which its name sug gests. Unwittinclv however the Gazette admits its unusefulness when it says "the merits of tho in stitution are not fully known through out the state. Its merits as a prac tical institution is not known throughout the state for the reason that it has no practical use, except porhnps to those who wish to enter the professions. That class is tho only one which makes a practical use of the education they get at the college. This is doubtless the rea son, and a good one it is, why the merits of the institution are not fully known throughout the state. It has no merit for practical use. This col lege has been in practical operation for several years, grinding out its gnsts of graduates for lawyers, doc tors and preachers, but not a practi cal farmer or mechanic has ever is sued from out its walls. The name, Agricultural college, is a misnomer, a fraud and a deception. Under tne guise of educating farmers and me chanics for practical business in callings, it is practically a Latin, Greek, higher mathematics, gram mar and philosophical institution, such as prospective professional men find useful to fit them for Those pro fessions. This is one good reason why its merits are not known. It has no merits for practical instruct ion for practical farmers or mechan ics. It does however give practical employment "to more than twenty professors" good for professors. It appears that visitors, after witness ing the grand arrangement of apartments, a display apparatus and equipments and hearing tho lauda tions of more than twenty professors, aro surprised that the merits of this institution are not known it is a wonder, truly! Tho farmers and mechanics throughout the state know nothing of its practical us-o ex cept once every two years several thousand dollars are appropriated to aid it, and that once every year they have to pay a tax to help support it. That is all they know about it And when a bnmble and unpretentious tax payer complains or a newspaper has the courage to voice the sentf ment of the taxpayers, condemning such useless expenditure of their money they are ridiculed, vilified and damned as "old fogies, moss backs, and enemies of education." These modern soidesant, instruc tors cf farmers and mechanics say to all who object to being taxed for the benefit of the few, 'Oh! you old fogies, you moss back igno ramuses, you are opposed to educa tion." Verily, tho tyrants of old, in in the holy name of religion, perse cuted, even unto death the honest inquirers after truth. So today, in the holy name of education, the few tax eaters denounce, ostracise and vilffy those who dare question the practical utility of such institution crs. 'VVo ask who is benefitted by Uhem Wo pause for reply. That our position on this subject be not misunderstood we emphatically assert that the state has no constitu tional right to appropriate one dollar for educational nses except to the public school where each and every child of a certain age has as near as practicable an equal opportunity to receive its benefit. Therefore, the legislature of this state has no au thority to divert ono dollar of the tax from the people of tho state to this college, tho normal school or the slate university. The state authority extends no further in that direction than to tho pnblic schools. Yet tho school is a good one, us good, perhaps, as any in tho state, and, while it is fastened upon uh, all who aro able to do so should take ad vantage of the opportunity offered to "igii a college education at bed rock prices. llOSEIWllU ACADEMY. ltev.lt. L. Dilwortb, principal of tholtoseburg Academy, is endeav oring to put this institnlion upon a permanent basis. This is a worthy move and tho people who can, will doubtless lend Mr. Dilwortb a help ing hand. They will be called on to snbscribo a nominal sum lo assist him in this work. Porsons residing in liosobnrg having children to odu cato beyond what thoy can roceivo in tho public school, ought lo help Mr. Dihvorlh in this euterpriso. It will bo far moro economical to establish academical instruction here at home than sending their children abroad. The tnval sum of 10 n year to aid this academy will bo a Iritle, com pared with tho expenses incideut to sonding ihem to Drain, Salem, Mou moalh or elsewhere. Our business mon too, will find it to their ad vantage in a busiuesa point of view, to subscribe to this fund. A good high school established in Kosebnrg will draw many pupils from tho countiy here, thul without such nu institution here, will go elsowheie and draw largo sums of money from thorn that would bo spent here. Besides an aca:lmy hero will bo u credit to our city, of which every citizen will bo proud. Twenty fivo or thirty yours ago, Oregon was tho "laud of big red apples'' because of tho size nod ruby color of that fruit. '"Those big red apples" wero as delicious in tlavor as their exterior appearance whs invit ing to tho eye, but seldom do we see such fine, luscious apples uowadays. Tho orchards of Oregon today pro duce no such magnificent apples as they did in the 50's. What is tho cause? Isitintho lack of culturo and care. The farmer of 30 years took an intelligent interest in the selection of his fruit and especial pride in its cultivation. Fruit cul ture is ono of the great coming in dustries of Oregon Mid it will prob ably be the leading industry in the not very distant future. Southern Oregon will in time bo ono great orchard and garden. Its climate, soil and natural adaptability to the production of fruits and vegetables will make it such. There are plenty of counties that can raise the cereals, but only a few favored spots are adapted to fruits and vegetables, and none can surpass Southern Oregon in this particular. Diversified farming, which includes the production of fruits and vegeta bles, is the goal to which the Oregon farmer is steadily progressing. We have here alluded to apples as not comparing with the apples of 30 years ago, but when it comes to peaches, big luscious peaches, South ern Oregon can beat tho world. We have noticed moro than onco the eye of the visitor to Koseburg glisten as he gazes upon the incomparable peaches exhibited in our market, and on sale. In response to inquiries made of the S. V. Company by the miner's association of California if some amicable settlement of differences regarding lands claimed to be min eral lying with in the limits of the railroad crant cin be made., W. H. Mills, acting for tho company, says that the com pan V is willing and ready to snbmit tho question to two commissioners, one to be chosen by the company and the other by the association, with the understanding that their decision shall be binding and irrevocable, provided, the associ ation withdraws affidavits now on file antagonizing the company's ap plication for patents. Very likely the difficulties in Ore gon could bo set tie 1 in the same manner if there was an association of miners that would take hold of the matter and press it. Wo Ieain from the lleview that the Kiddle Enteroriso has dropped the Plaixhealeh from its exchango list with the remark that it does to without a single' lear of regret, as the 1'ivixiiler is not much of a newspaper anyway." Whilo the dropping of tho Enterprise was purely accidental on tho part of Iho riiMEiLEK, in revising our mailing list, we yield io the inevitable. Had not tho Review kindly called our at tention to tho Enterprise's remarks, we would havo remained iu blissful ignorance of tho attempted, reiallia tion. A coal combine, controlling soven- eights of the coal interests of the South, it is said, is being formed with a capital of 50,000,000. Kentucky and Tennessee mines constitute a large part of tho trust. Tho avowed purpose of tho organization is to materially advance tho prico of coal. But how about the wages of tho miners? Tho lteview, owned and controlled by the boss of tho Hosc-boru Water Company, in tho superabundance of its irangrened spleen, incubarted a new expletive for the Plainucaleii in its Monday issue by dubbing ns as an "anarchist !"

Sam Moy, a prom inent Chinese merchant ol Chicago, Bays that a Chinese paper ho received gives tho Chinese version of tlio uttackn upon tho huglisli iind American missionaries. According to litis Cliincsu paixsr, the tit tuck (lovelojHiil u seriuua state ot allairs. It was found that the basoincnts ol tho mission houses wcro closely guarded by tho disreputable Chinese hangereon of tho missions. No decent Chinaman will havo anything to do with 11 mission The missionaries cannot talk the Ian uuago. The Chinese in tho interior who can talk "pigeon" or any foreign Ian guago aro almost always young men who havo run away to avoid punishment for Ielty crimes or to shirk tho supiiort of their families, going to some treaty ort instead of tho mountainx, as tho fugitives from justico for moro serious charges do In time tho petty crime is forgotten or compounded, and the fellow comes Imek, but is regarded as a social outlaw, and docs not find or want to find anything to do in the way of work, more than enough to keep him alive. The advent of tho missionary opens a now field for the uu scrupulous element. Tho inisxionary has to havo au interpreter. Tito outcast is ready to act and also to become a con vert anything for nny cosy life. Ho becomes a member of the missionary stall and Itoiigohold. The missionary wauls converts; tho Iiaiigeron want some luxuries. There aro only two ways to get (pnverts.in China. One is to hire them; then you havo converts just as long as thoy are paid. The other is by buying or kidnaping children and keep ing and teaching tltcui. Hiring converts and buying childrcu aro expensive, but the better class of missionaries, well sup plied with money, will understand the Chinese usages, and buy and show re sults. Good missionaries don't allow any kid napingr, but most of the missionaries, while good eoplo themselves, don't know how bad their native staff is. It is the native staff, under the lead of tho tough interpreter, which docs the kid naping, and the missionaries aro fooled. Tli is is the way it is done : One of the interpreters sees a child, a girl, say 12 years old, and finds out she U not well watched and cared for; that her parents are poor or careless jvople not likely to make much fuss at her disappearance, lie inveigles the child into a visit to the mission, and often force is used. Tho missionary sees the child, and is told some Ule by tho unscrupulous interpre ter; that she wants to live at the mis sion and be instructed, or some other in vention which seems plausible to tho ignorance and zeal of the missionary, and something is added to show the im portance of guarding the no- candidate from recapture by tho relatives, who, the niissioniry is assured, would do so to prevent the perversion of the child's faith. As the mt&sionarv cannot talk to the child he trusts his interpreter, who can, and the child well, tho less the original is followed here the better. The inter preter practically gets the girl. She is his slave for tho time being, aud he plays the missionary to keep her safely ontof eight until ho can sell her and cet the money for her. lhen the missionary is fooled again, and the pricess is repeated as freijnenlly as possible. It is a great industry for the unscrupulous interpret ers, who live belter, have more pleasure, and make more money with less work under the protection of the mission, than most of the good i-eople of their town. The burning of the missions Ireed some of the girl capti.es, who told the story of their kidnaping, confinement and the intli.jrii.ies to which they wero Bobjected. Tho stories spread and aroused the ferocity of all good people. This started the great ri t, and the mob attacked the missionaries and interpre ters indiscriminately. The best eop!e did not accuse the miss'onaries of any intentional wrong, and would not harm them, intending only to send them away so they could no longer be induced by tho wicked in terpreters to help tlicnt in kidnaping defenseless girls. AH agreed ii was right to kill the hang crson guilty of tho kidnaping, because it is the law and custom that any one may do so in China. The governor of Cokicn sent 1000 soliders up the Min river to iiucll the riots and restore order, but the bandits joined with the ra'ibie and whipped the soldiers. The soldiers lost half their number and had to retreat. At the time the paper was printed it was said the whole section wa3 in the control of the mob, and there was great fear that elsewhere, where the people hear of the stale of affairs at Ku Cheng, there wonld be great trouble for the missionaries. The foregoing is a free translation, not literal, but mncli abbreviated, and pre sents the Chinese view of tho situation. The Triennial Conclave. IJosro.v, Ang. 20. Knights Templar and ladies from every section of tho United States and visitors Iroru every nook and corner of New England havo been pouring into tho city today by tho thousands. A hundred commandcrlcs, including over 3500 Sir Knights, arrived before midnight. Tonight 50 or moro delega tions will arrive. Among the delegations which came in today was the Oakland commandery of California. The railroads expect to bring in oyer 2.30,000 peoplo be fore the parade starts tomorrow, besides those from .suburban towns that make up greater Boston. At the headquarters of the California commanderies elaborate preparations aro being made lo entertain guests. Califor nia, No. 1, of San Francisco, in particu lar, will outdo all their efforts at former conclaves. Their rooniB at tho Parker house are beautifully decorated with .pot ted palms and flowers of all kinds. Wednesday morning a distribution of souvenirs will be negun, and 10,000 baskets of California fruit and 22,000 bottles of wine lo be given away. Golden Gate commandery, of San Francisco, is holding open house at tho Columbia hotel. Sir Knichts have stretched Ii turn banners across Washington street high above the trolley wires, nroclairaine: their whereabouts, and everybody is in vited to pay respects to the cinnamon bear, who has tho distinction ol beinc the youngest Knight Templar in the world, being only six montliB old. Oak land commandery is entertain inir friondn at tho ilotel Harlow, whose headquarters are decorated tastefully. Negro flurdcrer Lynched. Si'binufielu, Ky., Aug. 20. At 2 o'clock this morning a mob of about a dozen men took Harrison Lewis, a negro, who murdorcd Joo Urooks, also colored, on Friday night, from jail, and hanged him to a troo in tho courthouso yard. Tho mob procured sledge huiumors, and alter threo hours' work succeeded in haltering down tliu jail door. Luwitj begged pltoously for his life, but with u ropo around his neck was dragged to tho nearest tree and strung up. It is tho opinion of many thai the mob was com posed of colored men, Friday night l.owis went to Brooks' houso and calling him to the door shot him down "on his own threshold without warning. Lewis was a brothor of Mat boh I-owis, who nar rowly escaiwl lynching hero two weeks ago for uu assault upon Mrs. Murray I'diield's, and was taken to Louisville for safe keoping. Unprovoked Murder. CuicAtio, Aug. 2t. Charles Lloyd, 11 negro desperado, last night met two white boys, AV. B. Welch, and John Hough, lwth ulKiiit 17 years old, near the llailer mine, 1-uncestcr county, and with tho declaration that it was time for negroes to lregin to kill white men, opened tire upon the toys, who were unarmed. Welch was first shot through the Iwdy, and when he begged the negro not to shoot again, he placed his revol ver to Welche'a head and shot him dead. Lloyd then tired at Hough, but only succeeded iu breaking his right arm. Lloyd took to the mountains, but a jhjssc of white men are after him for the purpose of lynching him as soon as captured. Welch and Hough are members of prominent families. Same Old Story. Sax Fimscim'u, Aug. 27. In Judge Murphy's court this inornini; tho oppos ing counsel concentrated all their ener gies to securing the 12th juror to try lueodoro Diurunt. After a number hail been excused for cause there remained about 40 names in the iurv-box from which it as hoped to com pie to the panel. The morning was spent iu a fruitless attempt to get an impartial citizen to serve. Durrant looked on with the calm and impenetrable demeanor which has characterized him from the beginning, and even from the time of his arrest. Tho young man's perfect control under all circumstances is be ginning to attract fome admiration, be ue innocent or guilty. He iiassed most of the session in the perusal ol a docu ment which was believed to be a new affidavit tor a change of venue based on the difficulty of obtaining a jury, which, the defense will argue, indicates au over whelming feeling in the community against the prisoner. It is understood that when the 12th juror is obtained. court will adjourn at least one day to allow District Attorney Barnes time to prepare his opening address to tho jury. Uurrants proof of an alibi in the Minnie Williams case, so unexpectedly built by Marius Burnett and Kdwaril McPherson, Las been shattered. Judrc G. C. Groesingcr, upon whom the young men depend for corroboration, declare positively that it was ou the nisht of Thursday, April 11. and not on Friday, that the young fellows sas-Dnrrant, if they saw him at all. "1 am positive." said Jndco Groe- singer, "that I did not meet Burnett and McPherson on Friday night, April 12. It was the day before that I met them. I did not wish to bo drarced into this case, certainly not as a prop to Iho de fense iu this way. In tlie first place, Burnett and McPherson have not niven a true account of what happened when I met them. I havo known them for some time, haying been conuected with the mihtia. About D o'clock Thursday night I met them on Market street, near Powell. It was very near tho Baldwin annex, and not iu front of the Elilo gal lery, as they haye asserted." Quantrel's Death. Little IUkk, Aug. 27. Captain Linton Horsely, a man who terved with dis tinction uuder General Forest, died at the home of his brother, Hover, this state, yesterday. Intimitate friends have known for some time that he knew of the killing of the noted Confederate, Quantrell, but the facts did not become generally known until his death. Homely was sent as a recruiting officer by General Forest into Kentuckv, and as Quantrell was returning from a raid he stopied in the vicinity of Bardstown and Ivgan depreciations. Horsclv. at the request of citizens there waited on Quantrell and asked him to desist, but Quantrell would not listen to the de mand. He was warned to make no more raids on the propertv of Kentuckv Confederates, and the two men set- ratcd. He made another raid, and dur ing an engagement with a detachment of Kentucky troojrs, Quantrell was killed. Horsely was an honest and reliable citizen, and confided cecrets to some of his Masonic friends that they would not divulge as long as he lived. Now that he is dead, they are willing to supply this missing link in the history of the lost cauc, and throw all possible liuht on the tragic end of Quantrell'a mur der 'if career. It had been irenernllv belo ved that Quantrell was killed by Fe leral troops. r-itzsimmons in Training. New Yohk, Aug. 27. Fitzsimmons has commenced training for the coming championship fight with Corbctt, at his littlo cottage on the shoro of Coney island. His course differs from tho training of the average fighter.

Ho announces that in his prc.Mjnt training ho will not follow certain worn-out rules of old trainers. The New Captain-General. Nkw Yohk, Aug. 27. J. Honrhiucs, formerly United States consul at Car denas, Cuba, has received a letter from Santiago which reports that tho peoplo thero are greatly stirred up by a report that tho 23,000 Spanish troops to bo sent to Cuba in October will bo commanded by General Camilo Polaviejo. When tho 10-years' war began Polaviojo entered tho army as a sergeant. He was pro moted for bravery until ho became gen eral, and beforo tho closo of tho war ho was made governor of Santiago province. It was whilo governor that ho gained a reputation for oxcessivo cruelty. After tho revolution, General Pola viejo was mado captniii-goncral of Ha vana, which ollico ho occupied until three yearn ago, when ho returned (o Spsiu. The only titno he who in tho United Statos vaa about seven years ago when ho came horo lo marry a Havana uirl. Sho refused him, saying she could never consent to bo tho wifo of a man who had beon so cruol to her countrymen. It is believed that on his arrival in Havana ho will succeed General Camos as captain-general of Cuba, and will bo second in command of tho army. Campos, it is exacted, will then bo freo to luko a moro active part iu Iho Hold. " Tragedy at Astoria.

When tho liutisn was reached Feakes was found dead on tho floor, and his wife was unconscious from tho effects of two wounds io tho head. Tho houso where tho tragedy was en acted is situated in the extreme eastern section of tho city, and tho particulars so far ascertained havo been very meager. Tho woman has beon removed to the hospital, but physicians say she cannot recover. It is said the couple did not get along well together, and havo lately met with financial reverses, which may account in 601110 measure for the hus band's desperation Attempted Train Wreck.

It is thought the design was to wreck and rob the (rain. The Eviction of Squatters. Port Tow.nsknd, Wash., Aug. -'7. Consternation has been caused in this and adjoining counties by the apar ance of an army lieutenant and a squad of men with iuetructions to settlers on the government reserves to vacate before September 13 or be removed bv the troops. Tho move is the outcome of tho recent order of the war department. It is conservatively estimated that 1300 settlers will lose their homes. Revolution Inevitable. New Yohk, Aug. 2S.

Belizario Albam Mertanza has been ap pointed temporary military and civil chief of the city. "The forces of the conservative gov ernment lied in fearful disorder at the approach of the patriots. The first act of these on their assumption of the gov ernment was to lilerate all political prisoners. "The phases of the conquest succeeded one another quickly.
